Naturally, if there's any good news under Obama's presidency, the GOP will find a way to downplay it. All right then, it's a crock full of shit, okay?

This is the slowest "recovery" since 1949. More people are out of than ever before. Many of the employed are underemployed. Middle class wages are stagnant or dropping. The jobs created are primarily service jobs.
This is not a healthy economy, not by any stretch of the imagination.
